14.25% alc., $75. Winemaker Chris
Mazepink (2005-2006). A moderate vintage with rain at harvest.
·Fruity and floral scents with delicious black
raspberry flavor and a tangy finish. A little smoke on water is evident in this and the 2006 vintage due to
cooperage choices. More acidity this vintage. There are still some well-integrated tannins to shed and this will
continue to improve in the bottle. Great verve.Reviewed September 15, 2008
